13-year-old Ogden singer on the cover of major folk album

OGDEN, Utah (ABC 4 Utah) - During Sundance 2012, we introduced you to a very talented 11 year-old from Ogden named Sammy Brue. Two years later, his talent is still getting attention and it's from people who are way cooler than a Utah News Station.

During Sundance 2012, we introduced you to a very talented 11 year-old from Ogden named Sammy Brue. His unique voice caught my attention as I was walking along Main Street in Park City.

Well, two years later, his talent is still getting attention and it's from people who are way cooler than a Utah news anchor. We caught up with Sammy to see what he's doing now.

The past two years have brought a lot of change for singer-songwriter Sammy Brue.

"Um I’m starting to get acne,” Sammy joked “and my voice."

His voice may be different, but that's not the change I’m talking about. At only 13 years-old, Sammy is charging into the Folk/Americana music scene.

"What’s it like doing all of this music stuff and just living your regular life?" I asked.

"Well most of the people at school like my teachers don't call me Sam anymore, they call me Sammy. And like, girls call me Sammy," he said with a sly smile.

"Oh yeah? Do girls like the music?" I asked.

"Yeah," he said, laughing.

It's a pretty nice perk from this young teen's budding career. As young as he may be, Sammy’s talent is very mature. It can be heard in his playing, his singing, but most of all, his writing. Sammy’s father couldn't be more proud.

"To see your kid find something they love and wrap it around them and find success with it there's nothing better as a parent," Mike said with a smile.

Sammy is currently working on a three song album called “The Bootleg Sessions.” We'll be sure to share that with you once he's finished.
